Radio Marca claim that Chelsea have tabled a 23 million bid in order to sign Daniel Alves.
The Blues upped the ante to land Sevilla wing-back Daniel Alves late on Monday evening.
The discussions between Sevilla and Chelsea began over the transfer of Khalid Boulahrouz, with the Uefa Cup winners looking to seal a 5-6m euro move for the Dutchman.
And agreement over the former Hamburg man is said to be close, but the Blues took the opportunity to make a 23 million euro approach for the Brazilian wing-back.
Sevilla have refused the bid for the moment, insisting that they want 25 million euros. However a difference of 2 million euros is unlikely to stand in the way.
Peter Kenyon tried to make Boulahrouz a part of the deal, but Sevilla president Del Nido wants to keep the two deals separate, supposedly because should Daniel Alves leave, he would rather sign a specialist right back, and not the Dutchman.
However, what seems clear is that Chelsea have decided to move for La Liga's best right-back. The radio report seems to be consistent with Del Nido's rather public 25 million demand for Alves, made a while ago.
